The refreshed Samsung Galaxy A (2016) lineup are: the 5.5-inch Galaxy A7, the 5.2-inch Galaxy A5, and 4.7-inch Galaxy A3. Both the A3 and A5 now have slightly larger screens than the previous incarnations.

Besides minor improvements to the processors and cameras across the three devices, as well as a narrower bezel, perhaps the most notable enhancement for the Galaxy A range is that the A5 and A7 phones now support Samsung Pay.

Though the Galaxy A (2016) is only available in China initially, where it will go on-sale from mid-December, the fact that Samsung Pay has been included on two of the devices is indicative of its future plans.

At the time of writing, Samsung Pay is available only in the U.S. and South Korea, though it is expected to launch in the U.K., Spain, and China in the near future. A mid-December China launch for the Galaxy A may hint at a broader rollout of Samsung Pay — whether that’s only China, or the other mooted markets, remains to be seen.

Samsung would only say that the Galaxy A range would be expanded into “global markets” — it gave no time-frame, locations, or indication of price.
